Female Reproductive NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The 67-year-old male client reports difficulty initiating a urinary stream, urinary frequency, and inability to completely empty the bladder. Which procedure would the nurse anticipate the health-care provider (HCP) performing first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: DRE is the initial procedure for assessing prostate enlargement (e.g., BPH), which causes urinary symptoms. PSA, ultrasound, and biopsy are follow-ups if DRE is abnormal.
Question 2 of 5
The client diagnosed with cancer of the uterus is scheduled to have radiation brachytherapy. Which precautions should the nurse implement? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B
Rationale: Brachytherapy requires a private room and dosimeter use to minimize radiation exposure. Visitors are limited, extended nurse time is avoided, and nuclear medicine notification is unnecessary.
Question 3 of 5
The male client is considering a vasectomy for birth control. Which information should the nurse teach the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Alternate contraception is needed post-vasectomy until sperm clearance (confirmed by semen analysis). Hot packs worsen edema, boxer underwear is nonspecific, and potency is unaffected.
Question 4 of 5
Besides a mild analgesic such as ibuprofen (Motrin), which therapeutic interventions are most appropriate for the nurse to recommend? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: C,E
Rationale: Heat application relaxes uterine muscles, reducing cramps, and massaging the lower abdomen can alleviate pain. Oral contraceptives require a prescription, tampons don't relieve cramps, reducing activity is unnecessary, and lying prone may not help.
Question 5 of 5
What intervention should the nurse implement for a client diagnosed with a rectocele?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Stool softeners prevent straining during bowel movements, reducing rectocele pressure. Limiting intake is inappropriate, low-residue diets increase constipation risk, and sitz baths are less specific.
